Invitation from the Youth Committee

Come, Explore Swami Vivekananda's Message of Sustainable Living!!!!

Dear Youth Participant,

Namaskar. You are cordially invited to attend the conference along with your family.

Sustainable living in the West is understood as responsible living and decelerated use of natural resources to avoid depleting them further. The Hindu tradition asks more of Man; there is a view known as Dharmic living, in fact. Sri Krishna speaks of the Universal Wheel of Action operating in the universe that governs all actions. Sustainable living is then living in accordance with the Universal Wheel so the balance is undisturbed. Swami Vivekananda had gone all around the world carrying this message. He provided fifteen laws of sustainable living for a man to change internally. Moreover, if just one law is followed thoroughly, the other fourteen laws benefits are experienced.

The planning committee has worked hard to come up with an enjoyable program. Please register early to save money and to help in planning the sessions. We look forward to see you at MassBay Community College on March 31, 2012.

Sincerely,

Youth Organizing Committee

Astha Agarwal, Aneesh Bairavsundaram, Jyoti Jain, Karan Kaul, Krinal Patel, Krishna Rajgopalan, Naina Jain, Neha Jain, Preethan Ravi, Srinidhi Rajgopalan, Raashika Goyal, Vani Manchanda..
